What do you bid?

You hold as West:

 

9864, 62, A532, T84

 

EW vulnerable, partner deals:

 

1H-(P)-P-(1S)

2H-(3H)-P-(3S)

P-(P*)-??

 

Do you agree with the first two passes? What do you do now?

 

*this pass had a looong tank, if that affects your decision.

 

edit: correct the auction to correctly display 1S instead of 2S.

Auction should have N balancing with 1S I think.

 

This is always a pass by me. If partner can expect to make game opposite this hand, he should have opened 2C.

I can understand pass and reasonable. But i can't see myself passing with an Ace. Perhaps i bid too much :D I'd bid 1. Now that i didnt, what am i supposed to do here except than final pass ? I am passing now. I wld have passed w/o the hesitation also. After all pd opened 1 and competed over 1, there is no reason for me to think he has a giant hand.

So if I'd responded 1, would the opponents be playing 3?

 

Probably not. We'd be playing in hearts. Maybe I should protect our score.

 

On the other hand, maybe we'd be playing in a game that goes down. Or 3 that goes down. I can't really know for sure but in that case it doesn't matter if I double them or not.

Yes, at the table I was thinking along Kfay's line (perhaps because we talked before he posted). I usually don't pass with an Ace, but with 4 spades and partner bidding hearts, I wasn't concerned that partner could bid 2H if he wanted to on his own. When they bid 3 spades, I thought that we'd have stolen the contract in 2H if only I'd bid 1S, so I doubled. I thought it might be a matchpoint double to protect our 2H score, but I wanted to see what the forum thought. It appears I made a unique (read: bad) decision. We did end up setting in 2 tricks so it was good in this case. Here's the whole hand:
